GoodDogz.org is a Reston, Va.-based nonprofit that informs people about dog selection and care, and assists canine rescue groups with a variety of responsibilities. Founded in 2003 by Beth Jackson, GoodDogz is — for now, at least — 100 percent volunteer-based. Jackson, who has spent many years working at animal sheters, believes public education is crucial to establishing solid and humane relationships between people and their dogs — and to making sure dogs remain in good homes instead of going to shelters. Here, Jackson talks with FundRaising Success about development victories and difficulties her organization has faced so far, and outlines its plans for growth going forward.
